They had a sane guy elected, who went a long way to insuring their futures, fixing alot of shit that W destroyed. Now they are worried about alot of that good that Obama did being destroyed. So they're protesting, peacefully. Big deal. That's what America is about. Even the idiot Drumpf has changed his tune and agrees, which is a positive sign. Now if only his idiot supporters would embrace American ideals.
What a difference 10 hours makes.
President-elect Donald Trump embraced anti-Trump protesters as passionate on Friday, after calling them “unfair” and a product of media incitement the previous night.
“Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country,” Trump posted on Twitter on Friday morning.
People angry over the presidential election results hit the streets for a third night in major cities inclduing Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and New York. In Portland, Ore., police called the protests a riot.
On Thursday, Trump tweeted that “professional protesters” were being unfair, and he accused the media of inciting their actions.
It wasn't put in because Mexican's have this underground movement to take back the southwest and we have to be careful they might control government. The Electoral College allowed the South to count it's slaves as 3/5ths a person and allowed them an inside track to the White House. That's the reason. I have a hard time calling it good, but what it does show is a long standing division in this country. It's not Obama's fault, nor Bush II, nor B. Clinton, nor Bush I, etc, etc....it's just been simmering there since the inception. I'm not going to justify any of the protesting but given the acidic pH of this forum toward H. Clinton and Trump's foundation laying of "rigged" election, I have very little doubt the other side would be at it just the same. That's my non-partisan take.
the electoral college prevents any one concentration of people or region from winning elections year after year preserving their own special interest
as it is, the election comes down to a few battleground states
if we went by popular vote, the only thing the democrats would focus on is to get out the vote in NYC, Philadelphia, DC, Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, LA and very few other cites and they win. That's not in the best interest of the country, that's not what elections are supposed to be about, that doesn't make every vote more valuable.
To make everyone's voice louder, you keep the EC but eliminate winner take all states. Then politicians would have to work all 50 states.
Saying somebody won the popular vote is somewhat meaningless today, because game plans would be different. Trump didn't waste any time or money in CA, and that state gave HRC a plurality of 2,800,000 votes. Republicans in that state may not even waste their time voting.

My impression is that itt was adopted in order to prevent the most influential states at that time Mass, NY, Penn, NC
& Virginia from overwhelming influence. State governments of Vermont, Maine, New hampshire, RI, & Delaware desired
protection from that.
We had 4 million people in large & small states jealous of their own rights & powers.
Thus wisely the early statesmen arrived at an indirest election of the president through a College of Electors.
Nowadays it's impossible to change!
That "Long Standing Division in this Country" is not that but rather a Division between Races and Cultures that has existed since the very second that more than one Race and/or Culture came to be in existence on this planet.
People can, and will, for the duration of our lifetimes here continue to refuse to see beyond the tiny danger-filled box they've been brainwashed into existing within that says Large Scale Multi-Culturalism within a country has any chance of leading to a positive result.
When in fact, there are exactly ZERO instances within the entire History of The Earth that a Large Scale blending of certain races has led to anything other than War, Misery, Bloodshed and along the path to those Horrors: White Anglo-Saxon Males having to carry upon their backs: Negroids and Latinos.
Having to support the people of these Races in a manner that is much like a Momma with a Papoose strapped to her back and occasionally having to Suckle this entirely dependent for it's survival on Her Lifeform.
Keep right on parroting the words of The Deception, that "Division here" is the result of some thing that White Males have done wrong, that this is due to "Racism" or Get Real, Get Bold and Get yourself to a place where you can see the big picture reality that Division between Races/Cultures is due to the Biological/Physiological Construction of the differing Races, themselves.
No Blame if you and others can't manage to rise above the Brainwashing borne of Religious/Geo-Political/Globalist/Liberal Agendas which themselves are borne of Intellectual Limitation (Abject Stupidity/Inability to see the forest for the trees and/or Greed).
Power Mad Men got born here and re-scribed all your religious books that form a large basis of why you feel obligated to welcome in Dark People to make your lives less Peaceful and More filled with pain than the books, as originally written, were a Blueprint for achieving.
Before those got Stepped On.
Originally those said that people of different races/cultures/belief systems should live amongst their own.
Exceptions mentioned, therein, some number of these can and should if they desire: go and live amongst the other, and this not only encouraged but recommended but by no means just a total and complete melting pot blending in that, as the books warned, would lead to the Cesspools of Misery and Warfare that is your present-day world and is only gonna get worse.
If your species survives that survival will be to a place where the Races and Cultures live separately, within various parts of the Earth. Africa: Black, Asia: Various Shades of Light Beige, South America, obviously Brown (various other parts of Earth for Brown, as well)...
Let me see....who did I leave out?
Oh Yeah.....White People.
They don't make it.
Cuz of what you're doing now.
Chiefly you're inability to take what, from your "Holy Books" was real and recognize what were false teachings added later by Greedy Power Hungry very very stupid and evil men and designed to allow them to control the world for the so few years they were even here.
What their stupidity in revising The Holy Texts left is a Curse. Of which a blind acceptance of Multi-Culturalism is the Worst
as that is what winds up as "Cause of Death" on that line of the death certificate of the Caucasian People.
Dont get mad at me, for this and don't call me "racist" for it either bcuz I did not create Human Beings. I was not the source of constructing them this way. As they are.
